We've been getting a fair amount of rain in the last couple of weeks and it has brought a lot of mushrooms into "bloom". The squirrels chew on a lot of them, so I can't get good pictures. But here's one massive one that the squirrels have left standing (probably because it is poisonous to an extreme?)

Huge, isn't it?! I wanted to take some measurements and Pootin' said he'd help but ....

.... he didn't grasp the concept that the tape measure wasn't meant for a game of tug!!

Hah hah - I'm King of the Mushroom I'm King of the Mushroom!!!!

Here's another interesting one on the way home .... kind of a creepy color. Come to think of it, it kind of looks like vinyl-doll-flesh color, doesn't it??!! Hundreds of little pink dolly fingers??

Claudia asked about getting a DNA test for Pootin'. I asked WeDoDNA about it and they said that no one has sequenced any dragon DNA and thus they don't do dragons. Pootin' did say that he remembered one of his granny-dragons telling him a story about an uncle that he thinks was named Poofin', so maybe that's your answer Claudia?

So there we were, together in the cave, and you got frightened and ran away leaving me with ..... something with eyes that glowed red in the dark. Did anyone care??? Did anyone want to know if I ever came out of the cave??? Nooooo, just "ho hum, goodbye Lily" to you, I guess!!! WELL!!!

Here's the rest of the story, for anyone who cares .....

﻿It's me!! I'm a dragon. My name is Pootin'. And it's too dark here in this cave. I'm ﻿﻿coming out into the sunshine. Now!﻿
